The New Job
Some of you may have heard, but many of you may not have, that I took a new job at the Corvallis Clinic Surgery Center, and started this past Monday.
It was truly God that orchestrated the events that lead up to me being offered the position. A friend who is a nurse (Lisa) called me in March and told me about the open position. I applied for the job and waited until late April to hear back and get an interview.
Several more weeks passed, and I thought they were not interested in me. One week before Jane passed away, I received a phone call from the supervisor, offering me the job; I told her that Jane was still hanging on, and I did not know how long it would be before I could accept and start. So we agreed that I would call her back in one week. Well, one week was the day after Jane died.
So I called her and accepted the position, and we agreed upon a start date of July 7th (this past Monday). The surgery center is brand-new, and very nice. The nurses, doctors, and other staff are also great. It's good to be back at work again, doing something that I truly love. I don't know for sure what the immediate future (next 2 years) holds for me, but I trust that God has a plan, so I am resting in that.

How awesome, Doug! Great news that you LOVE it. Love you and your family, MA
Great! No more trips to Albany and back for work. Although, on the bike I imagine it is fun. Back to school somewhere in that future? Hope so! Like I told you a long time ago, you are going to be a GREAT nurse! Love to you and yours!
Doug,
I worked with Leslie, RN (whom you now work with) up at Salem Hospital. She is a hoot! You will have a great time.
